Griffin and Irving at the Oxford Union
So ran the instructions to the thousand freaks, self-haters, simple minds and Jewish and “BEM” activists who screamed and occasionally became violent outside the Oxford Union Free Speech Forum last night. How far we have come from the “rainbow coalition” invented by Ken Livingstone in his GLC administration of the early 80s. Now the heir to this poisonous confection dictates acceptable speech and even debate about acceptable speech. Anyhow, let’s get a flavour of what it was like inside the building. Simon Darby of the BNP managed to record part of Nick Griffin’s speech - albeit, apparently, by employing technology no more effective than the wax disc. You can hear it, complete with the baying mob without, and a heartening round of applause from Griffin’s audience to finish, here. Griffin spoke in a separate room from Irving, who was in the main debating chamber. The mob had made it impossible for some of the ticket-holders to access the latter. So the police, who don’t seem to have been especially effective, ushered them to another room. The speakers were split accordingly. Irving’s account of his experience is posted at his Action Report. But here’s the relevant passage:-
The Q&A session is scarcely interesting, so I will skip that. Speak then, you vile man Luke Tryl - a name of Ukrainian origin, Irving is at pains to tell us - is the President of the Oxford Union, and the prime-mover in inviting Griffin and Irving to address the Union. He took pains to distance himself morally from these two untermenschen. Likewise, as the Forum neared, the mainstream media has gorged at every opportunity on the “thuggishness” of Griffin and on his prosecution in 1998 for saying something or other about The Big H. Irving, of course, was that “discredited” historian and, sin of sins, Holocaust denier. Among men of the (always, “far”) right, reputations are only ever broken, and persons only ever disreputable. The moral inflation of the mainstream political commentator is as absurd as it is ubiquitous, of course. But faux-morality and the liberal mind are inseparable. With the exception of Peter Tatchell, there was uniform agreement with Luke the Uke’s assertion that in a free society untermenschen should not be banned from making their vile arguments, but these should be roundly defeated by much “better arguments”. Liberal arguments. Luke’s arguments and Libby Purves’ arguments. So even the granting of public speech to the untermenschen is a cause for yet more moral inflation. Thus we see that the moral context which has been applied everywhere to these two men’s views - a mechanical and ritualistic delegitimisation - rules out a priori any possibility of them having genuine free speech. That possibility only enters with the understanding that the English (and in Irving’s case dead Germans) have the same natural rights and interests as any other people. Actually listening to the advocacy of those rights and interests is a revolutionary act in the liberal zeitgeist. It turns everything upside down. Now one must consider the racism of those who do not tolerate English or German rights and interests. One must consider the whole meaning and drift of liberalism, the nature of democracy and the political class - left and right - and the greater political and demographic purpose of post-War immigration. On the heels of these new considerations come many matters which, hitherto, have been automatically settled only one way. Indeed, what was moral becomes less moral and what was tolerant becomes intolerant, and vica versa. At this point, and only this point, is hearing unfettered enough to render free-speech meaningful, and a true social deliverance from bias and prejudice. The applause at the end of Griffin’s speech does suggest that at least some of that bias and prejudice is lifting. The mainstream media will likely be one of the last places that happens. Comments:2

“... employing technology no more effective than the wax disc.” Sehr lustig!
So, it has come to the point where a normal, healthy person who simply wants a normal, traditional society to live in is a “fascist.” Wuenderbar.
We often throw around words like “most” and “many” and “few,” when describing people’s reactions to certain things. I have heard that more and more normal people are getting fed up and aren’t going to take it anymore. But are they really? How can we tell? Does the average traditionalist really see how the anti-normal rhetoric against them continues to escalate? Or is he still waving his hand dismissively, as he has too often been doing, at the kooks? Is there a growing number of people who are beginning to realize that these commies are not kidding around?
